Outdoor Research Adrenaline Gloves - Waterproof, Insulated (For Women)

These are nice and soft and bendy but the L, while ok in width, the fingers were a little short and tight. I have long skinny hands and fingers. But men's are usually too wide and boxy. They probably fit you ok, I do have really big hands. Too bad no XL. Or men's version, apparently. :(

bought this for my wife, she really liked it.

Before I wrote a review, I wanted to test these gloves in various temps and conditions. Overall, I would say these are great gloves for cold, but not super cold temps. I should note that I have been using them primarily for snowshoeing and that my fingers get cold somewhat easily.

These gloves have kept my fingers warm when it's been at or above 10 degrees (F). In colder temperatures (5 degrees or colder), my fingers have been getting cold and I have had to switch to a different pair of gloves or mittens. They are windproof, however, so the extreme wind chills that we've had this winter (-10 to -30 on a warm day) have not made a noticeable difference in how warm my fingers stay.

The gloves have awesome features--they are waterproof, windproof, and have good grip for bindings and other miscellaneous fidgeting. They have good cinching properties at the wrist to keep snow and wind away from my wrists/hands/sleeves. The various loops are super handy for hooking the gloves together and to my belt, pack, or carabiner.

As a side note, I do have the women's "Mithril" jacket in "Bluebird," and the color is almost a perfect match (if you're not terribly picky, which I am not).

not that warm
